Questions about our services? Here's our guide to the top 5:

FULL CATERING SERVICES:
Corporate catering is our passion! From breakfast, to informal hot and cold options, to lush strolling receptions, to outdoor events, and custom food displays, we provide a wide array of options to make your events a success time and time again.

EVENT RENTALS: In addition to our full line of compostable utensils, we partner with experienced rental companies to fulfill your event rental needs. From glassware to furniture, to lights and pipe-and-drape services, we are here to help you plan your event as seamlessly as possible.

FULL BAR SERVICE: We are one of the elite companies in Northern California to possess a full liquor license to operate in-situ (fully insured as well); in addition to our convenient bar packages, we provide ample local and sustainable alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage options.

WELLNESS INITIATIVES: We understand that food is a catalyst for healthy lifestyle changes, and that nutrition in the workplace plays a vital role in your performance and your goal to live life to the fullest. Therefore, we are taking leading steps in analyzing our ingredients using state-of-the-art software, posting nutritional information, and making changes to our recipes and menus

By default, our standard delivery is a non-hosted buffet style service (though all our items are priced individually for accounting and production purposes). Our drivers are assigned delivery routes, and deliver each job by setting up the ordered items buffet style, along with serving utensils, linen for the buffet as appropriate, food labels and standard chafing dishes and/or trays to display the food. A pick up window is also required to retrieve our catering equipment once your meeting or event is over.

Are there other display options?

Yes, for hosted events, VIP chafing dishes are used in lieu of traditional ones, as well as an exclusive collection of platters, boards, food vessels and props, allowing our food creations to shine!

Your Account Executive will work with you to determine the best display options based on space availability, format, colors, theme and other pertinent details; our staff will ensure that the food is beautifully presented, and becomes an extension of your desired message to your guests.

Do you offer bar service?

Absolutely! We are one of the elite companies in Northern California with a license to provide FULL LIQUOR service in-situ.

In addition to our bar packages, signature cocktails and a la carte beverages, we provide bartenders and experienced event staff to ensure your event runs smoothly and leaves a positive impression on you and your guests.

Our line of beverages include local beers (San Francisco's Anchor Steam and Gordon Biersch, and Sierra Nevada), California wines, sodas, full bar, sangria, and full liquor service.

What type of rentals do you provide?

From china service to tables, portable bars, specialty linens, pipe and drape, floral accents and more, our team can partner with you to ensure all your rental needs are covered for a flawless event.

In the event we are not able to provide a certain type of service, our team will do their best to get you in touch with the most suitable matches to fulfill your custom requests.
